The Viking Electronics FXI-1A is a telecom smart paging interface designed for integrating paging capabilities with various phone system environments. This unit addresses the challenge of connecting to different analog line types, offering compatibility with FXO (loop start), FXS (ring trip), or dry 600 Ohm paging ports. It provides a 30V talk battery for FXO or unused analog line inputs. For FXS or PABX station ring trip ports, no external power supply is needed. When interfacing with systems lacking a paging contact closure, such as Panasonic or Intertel, the built-in Voice Activation (VOX) relay manages the connection. The device includes SPDT relay contacts to activate central paging amplifier equipment or manage background music sources. Disconnection is automatic via Calling Party Control (CPC), busy signal, silence detection, or a page timer. An electronic night bell feature can also be activated.
The FXI-1A is compatible with FXO (loop start), FXS (ring trip), and dry 600 Ohm paging ports. It supports 24V to 48VDC FXS operation.
The unit includes a 120VAC / 12VDC 500mA UL listed power adapter. No additional power supply is required when operating in FXS interface mode.
For systems that do not provide a paging contact closure, such as Panasonic or Intertel, the FXI-1A utilizes its built-in voice activation (VOX) relay to control the paging function.
The page time out is adjustable from 5 to 60 seconds or can be disabled. The silence disconnect time can be set from 2.5 to 10 seconds or disabled.
